  • Bio

    .... .. .. .. .. .. ........................ .. .. ..New England Metal And Hardcore Festival...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Psyopus is an Avant-Grind, bastardized formulation of speed metal for hardcore kids" - Metal Maniacs.. .."Musicians dedicated to a perplexing dissonace tension, tempo fuckology, and flash-handed technicality" - Terrorizer.. .."The quartet have entered their own league, crafting a fusion of violence and velocity, . . . simple aesthetic observations no longer apply to Psyopus music. The best one can do is stand back, gape, and try to survive" - Alternative Press.. ..From Rochester, NY, Psyopus create heart attack-inducing, grinding metal, that conjures up whirlwinds and tidal waves of absurd guitar work, harsh vocal onslaughts and hypersonic rhythm bombardment that takes the term 'tech' to an entirely new level. .. ..Crushing and outlandish yet perfectly concise, Psyopus gives us a glimpse into the calamity and anguish of a tortured psyche. Both eccentric and unprecedented, Psyopus may be Steve Vai's answer to tech-metal, coalescing equal parts metallic grindcore and speed metal mixed with all-out shred... ..This project was conceived during the fall of 2002. Beginning with the unorthodox guitar work of Christopher "Arpmandude" Arp, Rochester's regional winner of 2001's Limp Bizkit Guitarist Search, and the technical absurdness of grind drummer Greg Herman who was later replaced by Jason Bauers. Rounding out the lineup is new bass player Mike Horn, a 24 years old freak of nature from just outside of the Washington, DC area. Mike graduated from The Shenandoah Conservatory with a degree in Arts Management with a minor in jazz bass along with two years of classical bass training at the institution. Mike has since been institutionalized into the Psyopus School of Music alongside the relatively new talent in the form of University of Buffalo's Percussion Major, Buffalo, NY's own Jason Bauers, and upstate New York's As This Body, I Exist front man Brian Woodruff... ..Since the release of Ideas of Reference, released on Blackmarket Activities on October 19th 2004, Psyopus has joined the Metal Blade roster. Guitarist Arpmandude has an Ibanez endorsement and a column in Decibel Magazine. Guitarist Arpmndude also performs in a band called Assjack alongside Hank Williams III of Superjoint Ritual fame... ..Composed of bi-polar dynamics, radical arrangements, avant-garde instrumentation and a melting force of pure speed, Psyopus set out to destroy the molds of extreme metal with unprecedented attitude and conviction. Judge for yourself by listening to Our Puzzling Encounters Considered in stores now... .. .. .. .. .. ......UPCOMING PSYOPU SHOWS AND TOUR DATES.... .. .. ..Promote Psyopus.. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .... .... .... .... .. .. .."ODD SENSES".. ..02.17.09.. .. .. ....Order "Odd Senses" Now!.... .. .. .... .... .... .... .... .... .. .. .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Booking Psyopus.. ..John Finburg: ..firstrowtalent@aol.com.... .. ...... .. .. .. ..Band Members.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. ..Buy Psyopus Merch.. ...... .. .. .. ..Demand Psyopus in your Area.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Donate to Psyopus.. ........ .. .. ..Donate any amount through..

        WUT IT IS ?
        The Four Corners music video by skindeep: A Heavens Night & rym Production. I’m proud to announce the release of my first music video. The Four corners music video is dedicated to my long time friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivcngjs14Ls

        After nearly a year since I wrote and produced the song "Four Corners.” I’ve been working on the music video for this song w/ Heavens Night & rym productions.
        Nothing could have prepared me for such a rewarding experience.
        I've learned so much throughout the entire project.
        We drew the story boards for this video. We traveled to several different locations to film at. I learned about lighting and the angles you shoot at to get a better shot. Every step in between and along the way has been something new and as rewarding as the step before it. Editing this video was by far was the longest step on this project. We had to go through nearly five hours of footage. This video is just short of five minutes.
        I feel so blessed to of been able to play such a big part in the entire process from start to finish.
        When we began thinking about making a music video for this song. We wanted to make sure to stay on track and stick w/ the subject matter and topic of this song. I believe we did just that. The images follow the story the lyrics created.
        I'm so pleased to present you all w/ this video for its story and content.
        You can find the video on my wall and in my videos

    It is with great pleasure to announce the release of my new acoustic album "This Is Home" which is now in selected digital and itunes stores in Belgium, Germany, UK, Canada, USA and Mexico. The main themes of "This Is Home" is of love found, love lost, past and pressent relationships. Have been said that there are a few songs that are reminiscent of my childhood which I hope my boys will be able to see through my eyes.
     What makes this album different from it's predecessors is that my guitar and voice were recorded simultaneously and by doing so this enabled us to keep the recordings spontaneous and intimate. Here is the first videoclip from the album. I hope you'll enjoy it and please do share it.
     
    Peace always,

    Bai
